I like to do one thing for ten minutes, then switch the avoid boredom. At the gym, bike, elliptical, treadmill, then weights. Finally a slow jog with stretches. It moves quickly and always glad when the ten minutes is up! Takes an hour total, sometimes I’m having fun with the weights and go over.

Hey hello! I’m also a very active nurse and I’m 5’2”. I lost on 1200 but got super hungry. Now I eat 14-1700 depending on workouts and work days. I am losing about a pound a week or more, with little hunger and really enjoyable meals snacks and desserts. The work activity really adds up! I was shocked when I got a Fitbit I…

I’m 5’2”. 134 now but my goal is 115. 124 is my happy weight, easily maintained. I used to maintain at 110 in my 30’s but I like 115 better. I choose a lower goal because otherwise I just chill out and start gaining, but my body bounces up from anything less than 120 with a vengeance.

Hi there! I need some accountability. I’ve been logging consistently but also going over, now I am ready to commit to a consistent, realistic calorie deficit.

Sleep, because being tired causes me to overeat. But I mean really tired. My job is active, 12 hour shifts and I’m in school and have three kids. 6 hours of sleep I can work out but 4 or less I cannot, because I will definitely overcompensate with food.

In a desperate moment I realized a credit card can be used to slice an avocado. Yes I was that hungry.

At lunchtime today I needed to schedule a last minute appointment. I don’t feel hangry about eating lunch a little later! This is so incredible.... it’s been only about six days in for me.

Hi all, while noticing a small amount of progress, the self talk saying to go ahead and indulge are telling me I’ve earned it. My goal is to keep my intentions strong, celebrate that my plans are working and ignore the self sabotage that is creeping up. Internal vision of my goal self needs to be intact. Calorie goal Yoga…

Forth day back in ages. Today I will be under my calorie goal. This week is all about getting back into my old habits in order to be healthy again. Did not achieve my goals for two, but did for one, today will make it a tie!
-
Don't go over calorie goal, and check in here each day for seven days! If I do today well, it will be a new start because I've been off and on for seriously about a year and I've put back a lot that I lost.

Hi all! I love this thread, it always boosts me toward my goals. Today I need to focus on my family, be hydrated, and finish the day below calories. I will also do a shopping run and prep some budget friendly stuff for the next few days. Lately the calories have been creeping up.

Hi all, I have been making cashew milk yogurt. It is not thick but does turn out with a yogurt flavor so hopefully the probiotics are alive in there. I'll try boiling it longer and also use the tapioca flour thickener next time and see if that helps. It's unsweetened cashew milk so I add touch if sugar so the culture can…

Hello all! My goal for today is to workout and prep food for the next two days. I already surpassed my calories so another goal is to prevent giving up and going waaay over. My weekly goal is to be under goal for seven days and do a workout each day even if a 30 minute one. I need to kick this deficit into gear after a…

Ps... congratulations!

Maybe someone mentioned this already, but perhaps you could plan to trade an hour of baby care with your wife? She gets an hour to herself, then you do? That's what my partner does for me and our youngest is 4 now and we still give eachother breaks. Plus, I agree that investing in the home gym may be helpful long term if…

I need to be physically fit enough to keep earning a living in my physically demanding career. I need to be strong enough to not get hurt doing it. I need to provide benefits for my family and feed them. It's either get stronger and fitter or get weaker and more vulnerable. I choose to run run run and lift lift lift, and…

A fabulous food! I also love to roast and purée vegetables for a sauce with the riced cauliflower. Very filling and low on calories.
-
A spiralizer is fun! Also you can make a huge batch of vegan protein pancakes and freeze them, then reheat in toaster as needed. Maybe consider a rice cooker? Large batches of beans and rice in the fridge will help when you are hungry and not sure what to eat as you gain new habits. Happy eating!

Yes they're a migraine trigger for me. I switched to lacroix water. After a little while I grew used to plain coffee and tea. Just hang in there and be committed to not using them! Sometimes I seem to "forget" and use them! For about two days I'm like wow calorie free and sooo sweet... then bam... migraine.

Oh I have done this so many many times with school stuff. Studying made my brain crave snacks like crazy. Maybe get a serious protein meal in before and then have plenty of low calorie or no calorie drinks on hand and gum or cut up vegetables. Like an arsenal of study snacks that kick the butt out of school stress. One of…
